Experts question road obsession

Anthony Albanese Media release: Experts question road obsession. 29 July 2014
Tony Abbott must reconsider his obsession with funding only roads and not passenger rail after the emergence of leaked advice warning that the nation’s road spending is “hideously inefficient’’.

The advice, in a draft report produced by Infrastructure Australia, warns that the nation’s governments adopt a roads-first policy when it comes to infrastructure delivery without knowing whether building roads presents the best value for the taxpayer dollar.
